- Joint List rejects Supreme Court proposal on Sami Abu Shehadeh.
- Party vows mass voter turnout in response to disqualification threat.
- Abu Shehadeh is chairman of the Balad party.
The Joint List political alliance has rejected a proposal from Israel's Supreme Court (Beit Mishpat Elyon) to withdraw the candidacy of Sami Abu Shehadeh, the chairman of the Balad party. In response to the court's consideration of disqualifying Abu Shehadeh, the Joint List issued a statement declaring, "Our answer to the disqualification of Abu Shehadeh is mass turnout at the ballot boxes." The statement indicates the party's intention to mobilize its supporters to vote in large numbers, framing the court's potential action as a call to increased participation.
The Joint List's stance signals defiance against the judicial body's intervention in electoral matters concerning its candidates. The party views the potential disqualification not as a deterrent but as a catalyst for greater engagement with the electorate.
